[SLUG] Text to HTML?
Hi. I'm looking for something that can take a text file and convert it into HTML, possible with some highlighting. I've got some routers reporting to my syslog server on a Linux box, but I want to be able to do a quick scan for bad things without having to SSH to the box and scrolling through the text file. It'd be nice if the files could be put in some form of date order/heading for each tracking (in conjunction with logrotate, maybe) to ensure all that it in the link is one days worth of logs. Anyone know of such a beastie? It's be nice if it was CentOS compatible, since that's what I'm stuck with at work, but if it's source and needs to be compiled, so be it. Thanks.

It's not what you asked for, but I like logcheck, it runs syslog through a whole bunch of regex and emails you anything out of the ordinary. It comes with a default set of rules and you can add to them as you receive emails with mundane lines. I set mine to run every hour, and I get about 5 emails a day, depending on what's happening with my boxes. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

DaZZa Don't convert it. Apache will present a file as text which you can then look at with a browser. Alternatively a very simple perl (whatever) program could be used to rip through the log and present things you are interested in quickly and then present the full log at the click of a button. I would also bee looked for log analysis programs, most will analyse and present logs with colour. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
[SLUG] non-root users cant use network
Hi everyone, I'm fairly new to the list. I've got what I would consider an interesting issue with a little netbook I've been playing around with. basically regular users cannot make any outbound network connections. for example: cpbarnes@netbook:~$ ping 127.0.0.1 socket: Permission denied and cpbarnes@netbook:~$ wget http://127.0.0.1/ Connecting to 127.0.0.1:80... failed: Permission denied. doing the same as root works. Interestingly when i do: root@netbook:~# /sbin/ifconfig i can see the loopback interface AND its ip address 127.0.0.1 however as a regular user i get: warning: no inet socket available: no such file or directory i can see the loopback interface but there is no ip address. heres a little background. The netbook features an ARM processor, 128meg RAM, and the main storage is a USB thumb drive wired straight on to the mainboard. It came pre-loaded with Windows CE 6 however, as stunning and feature rich as it was, i got my hands on the vendors linux install for the netbook and installed that. The vendors Linux install is Debian based, ive got 2 varients, Debian 5 and Debian 6. Both present the same problem. I've tried updating the installed packages but the problem persists. The Linux kernel supplied appears to be a customised 2.6 and pretty much all the modules are compiled in. ive done a stack of searching on the interwebs. a lot of people talk about needing to setuid on the ping bin, but this is already done root@netbook:~# ls -l /bin/ping -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 34984 oct 14 2010 /bin/ping and besides, its not just ping that isnt working. i get this problem with the loopback interface, with the ethernet interface, and with the wireless interface. /sbin/route shows no entries, not even locally connected networks but even after adding one problem persists. e.g. route add -net 127.0.0.0/8 lo some people have also suggested ip tables could be the problem but as far as I can tell no rules are installed. it doesnt even look like iptables support is compiled into the kernel root@netbook:~# /sbin/iptables -L iptables v1.4.8: can't initialize iptables table `filter`: iptables who? (do you need insmod?) Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded. I've never seen a problem like this. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on what to look for or what to try next?

Interesting. Try strace wget http://127.0.0.1/; and see which system calls are failing. My guess is bad permissions on /dev, /sys or /proc.
